Running in Place

Running in place
 All of my life, I've been running in place
 What cuts like a knife is the one that I trust to tell me run fast
 Has left me behind, so I'm finishing last
 And I find that my future is the same as my past
 And I'm running, running, running, running
 ♪
 Running in place
 And struck by the notion, I'm stuck in this space
 With no forward notion, after the struggling
 The smiling, the scheming, I'm shaking awake
 And I find I'd been dreaming, it should be goodbye time
 But I'm standing right here running, running, running
 Why am I stranded here choosing a life with a man that I'm losing?
 Why? After all that he's done, don't I know what to do
 How to act, where to run
 ♪
 Dance!
 ♪
 It should be goodbye time
 But I'm spending my time
 Running, running, running
 Running, running, running
 Running in place
